Buying a greenhouse may be one of the largest investments that you make in your lifetime, surpassed only by your home and automobile purchases.
Just like your home, your greenhouse is usually a lifetime investment and therefore the buying decision should be given the same level of consideration as choosing a new home.
Analyze your requirements and select a greenhouse that will suit your needs.
A 120 square foot greenhouse is the most popular size for the average home gardener, but there are many different sizes and styles available for you to choose from.
Decide on the purpose of your greenhouse.
Will you use it to grow hobby plants such as orchids and other exotic plants, will you use your greenhouse to grow fruits and vegetables, or will you grow food and flowers.
Cultivating flowers would require less space than if you plan on growing fresh produce.
Choose a quality greenhouse from a reputable dealer.
One long-established greenhouse dealer is JazzMama; their greenhouses are made in Europe and they are the highest quality greenhouses in the world.
The greenhouses are constructed of rust-free aluminum frames, polyurethane window panels and they feature optional galvanized steel bases.
There are several other greenhouse dealers but JazzMama has been in the business longer than most, offer a greater selection of styles and sizes and many of their models can be extended for additional growing space.
Decide upon whether you prefer a stand-alone greenhouse or whether you would want a lean-to.
Lean-tos attach to the side of your home or other structure such as a storage unit or a brick wall.
The unit that attaches to your home can also be used as additional living space, perhaps as an atrium or a patio.
A stand alone unit would be separate from your home and is larger than a lean-to model.
Research the additional equipment that is required for your greenhouse to function properly.
If you are in a very cold climate, you will probably need a heating system and additional insulation for your greenhouse.
Other greenhouse equipment that you may consider are automatic watering and misting systems, solar powered fans, ventilation and exhaust systems, planting benches, shelves, trays, etc.
If you will spend a few hours researching your greenhouse purchase prior to making your final decision, you will save yourself years of living with the wrong decision.
Be sure to consult your greenhouse sales person as they are knowledgeable about what size would suit you best, which additional equipment is required and they can assist you in making the correct greenhouse decision.
